The other two are elected on the two largest fractions. The Republicans get one on a fraction of a quota of 25, 000 ; the Populists the other on a fraction of 20, 000. In this supposed case the Democrats would "throw away" 15, 000 votes, the benefit of which go to the Populists and Republicans. This is a much less waste of votes than under the present system, but much more than under the preferential. This system, under various actual and proposed modifications, involving voluminous detail, is,... as previously stated, in successful operation in three Swiss Cantons. In November 15th, 1882, the first election in Geneva under this sys- tem took place, when 13, 349 persons voted in three districts for 100 depu- ties to the "Grand Council, " or Cantonal legislature. The percentage of wasted votes amounted to 3. 9, 3. 4 and 1. 7 per cent, in the several three districts, five parties being in the main, fairly represented. One week earlier 53 per cent, of the votes for Assemblymen in Calif ornia were wasted.
